Technical waterproof fabrics like those used in dry cags and trousers only do their job effectively (keeping you warm and dry) when water doesn’t soak into them. Through wear and tear this ability to shed water begins to fail leaving you with kit that soaks up water. This often means that your kit takes on extra weight, takes longer to dry and is not as breathable as it may have once been.
I’ve been looking at the range of GoPro accessories I currently have to assess whether or not I would buy them again. Here is a very quick run down of the “Keepers” and the “Binned”. There has been fair bit of trial and error over the last few years but I think that I have narrowed things down to kit that works and is actually worth getting.
Most accessories will work with the entire GoPro range.
I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours today paddling the new Liquidlogic Squirrel 95. Over the years I have owned a number of Liquidlogic boats including – Vision, Ronin, Biscuit, and Stomper, so was very interested to give this new #automaticforthepeople boat a try.
The boat was borrowed from Northshore Watersports based at the Tees Whitewater course which is located around 10 minutes from home. Always a good place to try out new kit as conditions remain pretty much the same (other than when major block changes have been made!).
A shiny new Liquidlogic Flying Squirrel is on its way to Unsponsored HQ as I type this. In the meantime Kev from Northshore Watersports here in the UK hooked me up with one of his two demo Squirrels (Kev has both the 85 and 95 on demo).
The newest boat from Liquidlogic arrived in the UK this week and has soon found it’s way out to dealers including Northshore Watersports.
Designer Shane Benedict gives you the run down on the design and performance of the Liquidlogic Kayaks Flying Squirrel. The Flying Squirrel was requested by you the paddlers in our Automatic For The People Drive, Designed by us, tested by our team, and now sold direct to you at our webpage. Continue reading
A new GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition landed at Unsponsored HQ during the course of today and has just been unpacked. Other than the video upgrades there also seems to be a number of changes to unit that are not apparent when looking at the pre-release images.
In the box is the usual booklets, safety advice, skeleton backdoor, 2 x extender pieces, 1 x curved mount, 1 x flat mount, USB lead, additional QR and stickers. The notable difference between this and the GoPro 3+ is the lack of a remote fob.
The form a factor the the actual camera remains the same as the 3 and 3+ series but there have been a number of changes. Continue reading

A quick look at the new Pyranha Burn III Small from PaddleExpo 2014. We are really excited about this new boat and the potential it will bring out in young up-and-coming paddlers as well as the smaller members of the kayaking community who want a boat that will allow them to be in control, won’t swamp them and is light enough to make those long walk-ins and portages less of a chore.
